Yesterday morning I tried Japanese sweet potato (satsuma imo) for the first time.
I found it amidst a sea of random frozen items, pre-baked and stupid expensive for 100 grams of delicious goodness I wasn't sure I'd come across again. There was only one.
It'd been easily 10 years since I wanted to cook with it. Now, I knew I could only make one dish or dessert with it since it was only 100g with its skin on. And on top of it, it came pre-baked and frozen. That narrowed the options down very quickly.
I chose to make kintsuba (a type of Japanese sweet treat) following Cooking With Dog's recipe. It is usually made by boiling the peeled sweet potato but I had to make do with what I had.

This sweet came out scrumptious, it tasted nothing like the variety of sweet potatoes we cultivate in Spain. It was incredibly creamy, with surprising hints of clove and such spices. The flavor was smooth and mellow with a lasting aftertaste.

After I finished it I sat in silence and contemplated the future with the taste still lingering on my tongue: I probably won't be tasting this sweet, yellow flesh again any time soon.

Book Fiyero: *immediately recognizes Elphaba and stations himself at the backdoor to prevent her from evading him, stalks her halfway across town to her aerie (even though at that point in time she was only a college friend he hadn’t seen in five years), insists on seeing her again, instinctively goes to comfort her when she first cries, gets sucked into increasingly deep and fraught conversations with her about collateral damage and freedom fighter terrorism, calls her the “most individual, the most separate, the most real” DURING AN ARGUMENT, says he adores Elphaba’s looks IN THAT SAME ARGUMENT, doesn’t understand Elphaba’s “being born with a talent or an inclination for goodness is the aberration” comment because (implied) he sincerely believes Elphaba isn’t evil, changes his mind about the plight of the Animals all by himself but doesn’t mention it to Elphaba because he is afraid she would distance himself from him, buys scarves for both his wife and Elphaba even though only Elphaba likes scarves, is so concerned for Elphaba and her dangerous Lurlinemas Eve mission that he stalks her instead of staying at his club or just leaving town altogether, and is so worried about her that he returns to the aerie just to see her*
Also Book Fiyero: Am I in love with Elphaba?
#😭😭😭😭😭😭#wicked#wicked meta#wicked book#faeyero#fiyeraba#re reading wicked and i am crying#maybe the musical was right all along in making him the scarecrow#jk fiyero’s wicked smart no pun intended#i think he was protecting himself subconsciously from heartache#because he had sarima and the kids#if he got in too deep with elphie…well…#but sarima believing he was a little in love with glinda makes me laugh so hard. so off base#honestly the intensity with which fiyero just latched onto elphaba when he sees her again. real I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE HER AGAIN vibes#it almost makes me wonder#because it’s been five years dude#crope saw her too#but he didn’t stalk her halfway across town just to say hi#and he knew her for much less time than glinda boq crope AND tibbett. they literally had only (1) line of dialogue during the shiz years#don’t get me wrong#typically when you have to ask yourself if you love that person the answer is usually no#but i think in this case actions speak louder than words#no shade to musical fiyero btw he also got the sauce. especially bailey!fiyero oh god#but book fiyero is something else#‘my wife is from nest hardings’ ELPHABA WAS BORN IN NEST HARDINGS#he could have said ‘my girlfriend or friend or cousin’ but nooo it had to be wife#also the fact that he refused to sleep with sarima’s sisters or be unfaithful to sarima because he didn’t want to compromise his power#but then sleeps with elphaba when she sheds (1) tear#i’ll shut up now

I can pinpoint the moment that destroyed my life today:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e4629fcb3735a07a7a0191aa3aeb1093/473942797c192388-08/s540x810/27b1ed22325bae431d4f6f86cf87a8d3dfc48344.jpg)
It’s been a handful of weeks since Murderbot came within inches of having a new, organic governor module implanted in its head via infection - do you think, maybe, that’s also been hiding behind the redacted? Not the way everything else is, just as a deep-seated reminder of what it can’t afford to lose?
What a way to be told “I love you” - to be told “I will not lose you, I will not let go, I will do the hard part of holding on even if you don’t want me to”
#the murderbot diaries#murderbot#murderbot spoilers#perihelion#I am not normal about this and I will continue to be not normal about this#I have feelings about how important they are to each other#how their relationship doesn’t fit into neat boxes and is still undeniable#I don’t think art loves quite like humans love but it DOES love and will all of that power behind it#that love is an overwhelming thing I think#not romantic but INTENSE the way it just… IS intense by nature#and like… I got to the part where mb was thinking about just walking away in the other direction like#’oh this is BAD bad’#and this moment just…….#something about ‘you can’t go because I won’t let you’#’I will make the hard choice for you even if you don’t like what I choose’#not even in a possessive way just. just that mb is not ALLOWED to not exist#and I’ve got a lot of goddamn feelings about it#mb is a little bit in pieces and art is gonna forcibly hold those pieces together until it starts to heal#(but also. goddamn don’t even get me started on art having to hear that because. HHHHHH)

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e2ea8dda6f5616e0d990e7cdb07aca1e/703aadd19652c92a-f7/s540x810/eaf28cb87c4b1f64e89184f940abb98fd4cbbef2.jpg)
-
(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
#tumblr polls#hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today#still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual#They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully#it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec#fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since#I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm#ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos#or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things#I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming#over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY#I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb#e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about#different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see#stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I#can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone#said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects#the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

so did you guys know theres this character called tristan vik disventure camp and
#disventure camp#disventure camp fanart#tristan vik#disventure camp tristan#ghostofsnails#my art#It would be SO tedious to post all of these separately but to be honest ive been dead for so long that i think its just funnier like this#like. yeah. just in case you guys have been wondering what i've been up to.#I have like 2 more i think but i'll give them their own post so i can explain them#ive never hyperfixated on a character like this in my entire life. usually a character hyperfix is super intense and lasts like 2ish weeks.#GUYS ITS BEEN 2+ MONTHS. AND I STILL CANT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR CARTOON GOTH NONBINARY SILLY PERSON#actually fuck you can i write an essay in tags about why i love them. this is tumblr. and whose even gonna read this anyways. fukit we ball#i followed dc kinda casually as a guilty pleasure for a while but i was instantly drawn to tristan when the designs for the s4 cast dropped#i was like You're telling me there's a GOTH who is UPBEAT and isnt designed like a flawless elf TWINK and is NONBINARY? ME FR????#LIKE OHH THE GOTH NB GETS TO LOOK A LITTLE WEIRD. THEY GET TO BE UNCONVENTIONAL. my aesthetic attraction to them goes crazy. vampire style.#i remember when they got revealed people redesigned them to look more generically pretty & it PAINED ME bc it missed the point SO. BADLY.#ik some people find them boring also & even tho i disagree i can see it if u dont rlly care abt alt stuff. but for me the fact theyre so#kind & upbeat & extroverted WHILE being a SUBCULTURAL GOTH is the draw bc while i do get a kick out of the exaggerated depressed goth#stereotype - its not exactly true to life and so seeing a character that looks and acts like me and real goths makes feel so seen and happy#they also capture my desire to have goth friends SO BADLY im projecting on them SO HARD. They are such top tier friend material you guys...#AND THEYRE A FASHION DESIGNER WHICH FEELS SO IN THEME WITH BEING GOTH THAT IT MAKES ME SO JOYOUS AND CRAZY.#its all so funny because im 100x more excited about getting good goth rep than nonbinary rep LMFAOOO but them being nb is SO important too#Not to mention their voice actor is FANTASTIC and elevates them SOOO MUCH. Also the amount the va is obsessed with them fed my obsession -#sooo insanely you guys.... i feed off of other peoples emotional attachments. AND THEIR ACTING FOR TRIS ADDS SO MUCH DEPTH TO THEIR#CHARACTER IF YOU LOOK FOR IT. I COULD LITERALLY WRITE ESSAYS ABOUT TRISTAN YOU GUYS. IM NOT INSANE.#god you guys this is the first time ive ever had a genuine “i feel seen” feeling from a fictional character I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE NOW.#i LOVE NONBINARY PEOPLE EXPRESSING THEMSELVES. I LOVE HOW QUEERNESS AND GOTH CULTURE INTERSECTS AND HOW THATS REPRESENTED IN TRISTAN#THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME. AND I KNOW THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. WHICH JUST MAKES THEM MEAN EVEN MORE TO ME. I LOVE LIFE.#its an endless feedback loop i fear. im trapped in it & loving every second. i will be drawing them until i am in my grave & maybe after.

Do you think Yesod has ever taken refuge on Netzach's floor.. he hates the ticking of his own floor .. and he's a homosexual.. maybe Chesed visits too .... holy trinity of bad coping mechanisms or something ..
thats funny that he does actually... perhaps
#library of ruina#yesod#yesod lor#chesed#chesed lor#netzach#netzach lor#I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER it was also originally going to be longer... probably will do those ideas later as well but i didnt want to#put this off any longer. i got rather anxious from the attention so i ran for a bit. again im sorry... i hope these are good enough#anyways the thoughts. i want thinking abt it because yesod already is the orderly type and netzachs floor is a MESS DAMN girl you live like#this. or whatever the sort. but it being messy might be an excuse to do something w hands and physically move and do something and still#feel productive somewhat while also doing something less energy intensive. perhaps. for yesod. the other ideas were like.. chesed going dow#to the lower floors and bringing coffee with a cup so that itd be an excuse to either have them come return it and visit or go back down to#get ot later. as an excuse again of course.#there is a lot of little critters on netzs floor actually... little thangs.#i dont think ill have enough room. anyways again SORRY!!! its done.... somewhat

His meltdown during channel chasers was so warranted!
Having to mentally except that at 18 the people that love and care about you most are going to disappear from your life and the fact that you can’t even have the memories when they leave is devastating 
And he’s always aware of this fact, so he keeps prolonging the time he’s going to spend with them by actively choosing to keep the horrible influences in his life so that he can have his fairies for longer. He actively chooses to keep Vicky as his babysitter, even though he knows damn well he can use magic And has used magic to get rid of her before. There is so many factors in his life that he could fix, but actively sabotages instead because he thinks being miserable is worth it.
The purpose of fairies is to make sure a child can grow up with magic and hope in their life as well as instilling good lessons in them to make sure that they’re able to live the rest of their life with no issue, but because of Timmy’s circumstances and his mindset because of everything, he’s experienced, they’ve actively done the opposite and taught him some of the most self-destructive self sabotaging behavior a child could possibly learn 
Because in his eyes, it is 100% worth it and he never second guesses himself on it and because Cosmo and Wanda love him as much as he loves them. It makes it all worse because they don’t even realize what they’re doing by not discouraging this type of behavior. 
And though I believe that the later seasons don’t hold as much weight as the earlier ones, the fact Wanda that has a scrapbook of important moments for him that’s similar to the one she has for her actual son poof, the fact that both of them included Timmy in their family photo seals the fact that they treat Timmy differently than any other godchild they have ever had 
Timmy’s attachment style is so fucked
His parents were extremely clingy towards him recording every moment of his life for childhood memories, until the age of eight he also, presumably had no friends during this time, considering imaginary Gary being around when he was five, which concerned his parents so much that they sent him to therapy to get rid of him 
Than because of a white lie, he ends up dialing a babysitter for himself which led to his parents realizing they can leave him alone without a second thought to do all sorts of ridiculous, nonsense. leaving him for the next two years to deal with Vicky on his own, which definitely gave him lasting trauma, considering she frequently destroys his belongings and finds ways to humiliate and embarrass him. also been said that she is his greatest fear multiple times within the show so yeah, there’s definitely trauma there 
And it’s not being until around the age of 10 that he gets fairies which results in him actually having people he feels safe to be around 
And I believe that’s partially a driving force of why Timmy is so attached to Cosmo and Wanda. whenever he has a problem, he talks about it with them. He wants to play, He hangs out with them. Those two are his go to for everything.  because he relies on them as if they were his real parents, and since he spent a significant chunk of his life with his parents around for every moment of it, Cosmo and Wanda slide into the role that they used to fill 
And tho Cosmo and Wanda constantly reassure Timmy that his actual parents love him, he’s not going to his actual parents for comfort he’s going to his fairies if he’s excited, he’ll tell Cosmo and Wanda, if he’s upset he’ll tell Cosmo and Wanda; if there is anything he will go to Cosmo and Wanda first he doesn’t talk to anybody else about his issues most of the time and even when he does it after Cosmo and Wanda, tell him to 
It’s no wonder that he’s attached to his fairies more than presumably other kids with fairies are 
#fairly oddparents#fop#timmy turner#cosmo and wanda#text post#reblog#got a little intense there#I don’t know why fairly odd parents Lore does this to me

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?
day 356
BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails
truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute
#day 356#year 4#dave strider#aradia megido#aradave#homestuck#she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D#boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY#and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave#the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia#yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first#but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point#she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff#and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease#because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC#shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy'#shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-'#'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about'#'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it'#i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like#at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze#but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends#ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies#i will be here waiting patiently#timerails

bobby & david kennedy
“There was some level on which David tapped his father’s sensitivity. You would find him walking with David or with his arm around David. David just seemed to need it.”
— chuck mcdermott.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7269ddf0b0a0db3deba1a11ad99092ed/e242d6a4f24c1f78-b6/s540x810/013df208745f8285b2d524ba72729a17a02e5430.jpg)
“If his father’s death hit David harder than the others, it was because there had been a special bond between them—both were the runts of the litter, sandwiched into the middle of a large family. He was the only one in the family who hadn’t been enthusiastic about the run for the presidency. For weeks after his father’s announcement, David had been plagued by recurring nightmares about Bobby’s death. Distraught over episodes that seemed premonitory, and missing the special attention his father had given him, David had gotten in trouble for throwing rocks at cars passing by Hickory Hill. The day of the California primary, he had joined his father in Los Angeles. The two of them had been swimming and he had felt himself being carried out by the undertow when his father grabbed him, scraping his own head on the ocean floor as he reached for David’s slippery arm. With a teenager’s melodrama, David had decided that he owed his father a life and would look for an opportunity to pay him back in the years ahead. That night as he sat in front of the television set in his room in the Ambassador Hotel and watched [his father] bleeding on the floor downstairs, one of the thoughts he had was that the debt would be forever undischarged.”

“As the worst year of their young lives came to a close, they decided to surprise their mother at Christmas with a book comprised of letters about their father. David’s said: ‘Daddy was very funny in church because he would embarrass all of us by singing very loud. Daddy did not have a very good voice. There will be no more football with Daddy, no more swimming with him, no more riding and no more camping with him. But he was the best father there ever was and I would rather have him for a father for the length of time I did than any other father for a million years.”
— the kennedy’s, peter collier & david horowitz.

“David looked at himself in those pictures like they were a strange sort of mirror. He looked at them half a dozen times at least, mesmerized by them, and he kept asking me questions. There was a tremendous desire to know his father, to really know him.”
— john seigenthaler.
“David and Bobby were so close. They were inseparable. David was small, a runt like Bobby had been.” Ethel then explained to Noelle (her secretary) that David had always been a very sensitive youngster, very introverted, "not like the other boys. He and I would go and pick flowers while his brothers were killing each other with their crazy games", Ethel recalled with a smile.
— ethel kennedy.
“I think about death a lot. Time hasn’t erased the death of my father from my mind. My family thinks I’m no good and that I’ll never beat my problem. They’ve written me off. I’m trying to get it together, but it’s so difficult. I’m having a terrible time at it. And the thing I want most in the world is the approval of my family, but they want nothing to do with me. All I want is to be with my father.”
— david kennedy, april 1984.
“Like his family, his friends had all wondered at one time or another if he would kill himself; but when it finally came his death was nonetheless shocking. ‘I keep asking myself why. Why David? Why now? All I can come up with is that maybe his father was looking down from heaven and saw all the hell these people were putting him through and said, ‘Come on, You’ve suffered enough. It’s time you were up here with me.’”

Years after David Kennedy’s death, his cousin, Patrick Kennedy recalled a haunting and heartbreaking recollection he had with his father, Teddy, sitting beside his cousin’s casket: “My father remembered Bobby telling him that, as a father, he needed to spend more time with David. He also recounted a story Uncle Bobby had told him just before his own death. On the day before the California primary, the Robert Kennedys had gone swimming in Malibu, to relax together. David had been knocked over by a wave and got caught in the undertow, and his father had come to his rescue. When Uncle Bobby told my father this story, he talked about ‘the undertow’ in broader terms, how there was an undertow in life and David, who was only then thirteen, already seemed vulnerable to it. And then, just hours later, Uncle Bobby was murdered as David watched the TV coverage in their hotel room upstairs. It was unbelievably poignant to hear my father tell this story. David was in the casket next to us. And I wasn’t that much older than David when his father worried whether he could survive the undertow.”
#the fifth photo where he’s caressing david’s cheek …..#every time i think about bobby & david my heart cracks a little#the way that he was iced out by the kennedy's bc of his drug addiction is so heartbreaking. but is it surprising? not really#ofc i understand that trying to help someone with an addiction is never easy and warrants a whole other conversation#i remember reading ab how kathleen tried to help as she was the oldest but other ppl in the family dissuaded her from it after a while#chris lawford talked ab how eunice once got him out of trouble but was incredibly angry at how the family had neglected their own children#said something about how 'we're so good at taking care of other ppl's problems but absolutely awful at looking after our own'#so i'm moreso side-eyeing ppl like rfk jr who actively benefitted in painting david as the black sheep#or just Didn't Care bc it reflected badly on them.#david was made to feel unimporant in the family when anyone who met him said he was Always the brightest of bobby’s children#which made his downward mental spiral all the more tragic to those sympathetic to him#and it kind of kills me bc he really was so much like Bobby who grew up only ever wanting his family’s love and approval#who as a young man was also so angry at the world & depressed but then was slowly sucked out of its intensity bc of ethel’s love and suppor#and because he found purpose through fatherhood and public service#but david never had the opportunity to have those things or that type of support#not after he lost his father who he felt was the only one who understood & cared for him and gave him that support#david later revealed to peter collier & David Horowitz that his brothers even called him a traitor which had left him in tears#and he was only further ostracized by the family for talking to those biographers and telling them the actual truth#moral of the story: bobby and david kennedy deserved better#rfk#bobby kennedy#david kennedy#kennedy family

I’m not making my oc’s diverse so shut up and get over it xx
I’d die before I make them poc like ewwwww
And stop telling people how they should make their ocs look, mind your business dusty bitch :)
First of all you're a coward LMFAO if you're so strongly opinionated about this come out of anon and say it with your chest dumbfuck
Secondly, ur so outrightly racist which literally is just proving my point, good job for having 0 literacy and 2 braincells competing for 3rd place
Thirdly, I'm not telling yall how your ocs should look, yall KEEP PROVING MY POINT LMAO
And "dusty bitch"? Is that the best you could do baby?
Someone's clearly not a writer aww :(
And if you don't like being called out then fucking block me you pussy ass bitch
And kys lmao nobody's going to just "get over" actual centuries of enslavement, abuse, murders, oppression and sm more.
But ofc I guess your, very obviously, privileged, brainless dumbass hasn't ever had to sit down and learn that the world is never gonna treat u the same as everyone else just bc you aren't turning red in the sun
You reek of white privilege and it's embarrassing that you even THOUGHT to fix your fugly fingers up into my asks to put in some racist bullshit because you have nothing better to do with your life outside of trying to find ways to belittle and opress those different from you
You're a disgrace to this fandom and I'm gonna say this again slowly just so your little pea brain can actually process it okay?
I don't give 2 shits about your ocs or what color they are, I am just making an observation as I've always had to do because if I say nothing, I dishonor the people that came before me and fought against the exact same bullshit
So to put it in an elementary way for your stupid ass: My people fought for me to have a voice, and I am using it. You claim that I'm trying to dictate how you choose to portray your mayo munching ocs and yet you turn around and deadass COMMAND me to get over things that I've learned that I need to point out because you crackertastic cunts are so blatantly unaware of yourselves. You say that I'm attacking but then you crawl up in here saying hateful shit like this but IM the aggressors?
Yeah go ahead and do the world a favour and take yourself out you absolute fucking trash
Go scrub your ass, maybe then you'll be able to reach up far enough to get your head out of it
